BH Cosmetic Palettes






                                     BH Cosmetics Party Girl Palette & 3rd edition 120 Palette

     Last month I purchased these gorgeous palettes! I am absolutely in love.  The came packed perfectly and not one single shadow came cracked.  I love the sleek simple cases and the amazing shadows.  For the price they are great. They are pigmented and have great color payoff.  I always use a shadow primer because it makes eyeshadows more vibrant but you don't necessarily need it under some of the more pigmented colors.  I bought the 120 palette to play around with and the Party Girl palette will be great to take with me when I travel.  The Party Girl Palette has a great mix of neutral and color which will make it my go to travel makeup palette.  If your looking to start your make up collection or add to your s then this is the way to go.  I like buying palettes because you get more for your money.  You don't always need to buy high end to get great quality.  This was my first time buying from BH Cosmetics and I couldn't be happier!  I can't wait to buy more from them in the future.

Stila One Step Bronze



Stila One Step Bronze skin tone illuminating bronzing serum

     First I apologize for the poor lighting in the photographs. I am still trying to find a perfect spot in my home as far as lighting goes.

     Secondly this review! I received this sample of Stila One Step Bronze in my Birch Box last month.  I absolutely loooove this serum! It brightened up, bronzed, and primed my skin all in one step.  The serum evened out my skin, even smoothed out some of my stubborn fine lines and large pores.  The serum contains three bronzers that mix into one. It contains a matte bronzer to bronze; a bronzer with illuminate and enhance skin tone; and a kitten bronzer to also illuminate, brighten, and reduce sunspots.  It works great under foundation or alone.  I definitely recommend this product and I plan on purchasing the one step correct after summer is over. This product is now one of my must have products!

Stainiac



The Balm Stainiac cheek and lip stain

     I have never tried a stain before and tend to gravitate towards lipstick and glosses.  Last month I was feeling adventurous and tried out The Balm's Stainiac.  This tint has a great color and the applicator makes it easy to apply.  The color enhances my natural lip color great.  It also had a great smell, which is key in a lip product for me because I hate icky smelling products.  Although to me it was very drying and a few hours later my lips looked thirsty.  I didn't try it as a cheek stain and glad I didn't  because of how it made my lips feel.  Overall the product was okay and I will not be repurchasing it.  This does not mean it may not be the product for you.   If you like a very minimal and natural look and you are willing to reapply it often then this product may be for you.

     Sorry for the lack of posting lately, just haven't had time to get to the computer. This outfit was a outfit I wore to work last month. I absolutely love this skirt, I just need to find the right top to go with it.    The top in the photos was all right but it certainly may look a lot better with a different top.  Suggestions?
